Your stock size rear bar 26MM. Your front I think is 32MM but it may have come w/a straight sway bar or a "zig zagged" sway bar. Your going to have to check that out. If you have a stright bar than you can use the 85 sway bar. If your bar is the other type than you can only replace the bushings or cut your fan shroud to fit it.

Good thing you don't sway at the bar, you could really hurt yourself. :lolg:

I wish I only paid $10.

Thanks for the heads up! :thumbs:
My daughter's wedding will be over this saturday. I'll clean the reception hall that evening, and maybe pick-up enough loose change for a new sway bar. Or at least lunch money for next week :D

Re: Sway Bar Special (Van Steel)
:cheers: IMHO, I have tried some heavy bars on my '88 Z51.
I tried 30 mm fronts and 26 mm rears...on a track woth lots of room to recover, the 26 mm rears may be ok. again IMHO But on normal, two lane twisties, they will put you off the road (IMHO)
but I found the best combination for me was 30mm fronts and 24mm rears. plus, not to knock a supporting vendor, these prices are a little high
I suspect that 32mm bars would be way to stiff for the street, IMHO
:seeya :steering:

Q1KSLVR-
Yes it will tighten up your suspension.

Go to Ecklers or VBP. They have them for $149.99. So the discount isn't to bad. How many other vendors are going to give you more than 15% off?

Re: Sway Bar Special (Van Steel)
Geez, I feel like we're pickin' on the guy!
but...
You told Q1KSLVR that it will tighten up the suspension.
And just a note to those looking to upgrade sway bars: Always upgrade both your front and rear at the same time, or your handling will suffer for the worse! :thumbs:
but...
I never said that this was an upgrade. I just said I had sway bars on sale.

Re: Sway Bar Special (oldace84)
Check suspension chart for bar sizes and additional suspension info, although a Z52 isn't listed as an option code for your year. http://zr1.net/ZR1_suspension.html
